A man seated on an ornate silver-and-red throne holds up a silver trident-staff with his right hand, smiling. He wears a dark maroon-brown dhoti-style garment, red and white flower garlands, gold bangles on his wrists and upper arms, and a gold necklace; he has long swept-back hair and a tilak on his forehead. Behind him, a silver staff with a trident-topped finial stands in the foreground, and several seated and standing devotees in white and saffron-toned clothing are visible in a bright hall with a wooden door and framed artwork on the wall. A man with a rudraksha mala and a woman in a red-bordered sari sit at the lower left. Swamiji (probable): the seated man has long swept-back hair, a gold necklace, flower garlands and a maroon robe, along with a trident-staff and throne, which are distinctive ritual cues.
